Agreed. Great show. Harris wrote episode 3 or 4 I think (the concert episode) and contributed heavily to the writing before his passing earlier this year. I really didn't expect to like that as much as I did. I gotta say, I was a little depressed after the final episode. Maybe that was not the emotional response it was shooting for, but that's how it hit me, so there you go.

John Mulaney's new standup special "The Comeback kid" is really good too.

Also watched 3 or the 4 new With Bob and David episodes, and maybe it's no the Mr. Show of 20 years ago, but I'm enjoying it. It's just silly humor, and I can get behind that.

I saw John Mulaney perform at my college about a year and a half ago. He was fantastic. One of the co-stars from his sitcom opened for him, he was also fantastic. I haven't heard the most flattering this about his sitcom but his standup is very worthwhile. "New In Town" is the only special of his I've watched, I believe.

So, Jessica Jones sure gets pretty stupid right? Like, why do her powers seem to disappear whenever it's convenient for the plot? I won't say much more than that, but I do have two episodes left and I hope it ends as strong as it started, because it certainly fizzles by about episode 8. To be fair, Daredevil had the same issue towards the end of it's first season, but I still look back on it pretty fondly. I'm all in on Netflix original programming though. They might be the best out there next to HBO.

Because, that's sadly the common issue with any "Superman" series. Superman/girl is so powerful and can easily smash any villain that they have to nerf him/her in a way. The second Superman movie was all about Supes losing his powers and I think I remember it being done in a later movie too...and, of course, there's always the kryptonite loophole. This Jones show looks like a cool concept but you figure they've got to fall into the same cliches to create drama.

I put this in the "What are you watching on TV?" thread back in September. Clearly a Netflix show belongs in the Netflix thread. It's been one of the many things on the back burner in my head since then. Now I'm fixing it. Why? Just because. Does anyone notice? Does anyone care?

Grace and Frankie is my jam. Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda are hilarious. One of the funniest shows I've ever seen. Season 3 just came out last week.

I've been doing this a long time and have seen lots of changes most of which I can't fucking stand...but I still go anyway because I'm there for the MUSIC and so I tolerate all that other bullshit because I DO get the point. So there

Ozark. Jason Bateman is a financial planner from Chicago who got involved with laundering money for a drug cartel. Things go wrong, and he has to relocate to Missouri. Pretty good so far (5 of 10 episodes). Lots of interesting characters.

EDIT: I finished the first season or chapter or group of shows or whatever they call it on Netflix. The problem is, when is there going to be more? It just came out last month. It hasn't even officially been given the OK for more episodes. I do think it's worth watching though.

Wowza,...what a an awesomely disturbing show.Kinda like a modern day Twilight Zone.

Highly recommended, but as Mr. Breathes says,...watch at own risk.I couldn't stop thinking about it all day.

No Black Mirror thread. This was all I found about it. I often describe it like Twilight Zone as well. Except way better. Also agree with the can't stop thinking about it. Every episode I watch sticks with me throughout the next day. It's not a show to binge for that reason. You need time to digest every episode. I think binging it would be a disservice. Absolutely brilliant show.

Brief Phish reference in episode 4 of the current group of episodes "Much Too Young (To Feel this Old)"

Mindhunter. I read the book around 1997-1998 (and again a couple weeks ago). Really blew my 20 year old mind in regards to what kinds of people could be out there and what they might do. The main story of the guy interviewing serial killers and moving up through the FBI is true, but I don't think any of the side stories involving personal lives of the FBI characters are based on the book.
